ullangoo wrote today at 3:54 AMThere are what I call the personal truths. E.g. meditation may be the right thing for you but wrong for me. Therefore, "meditation is the right thing" is a meaningless statement - "right thing" is unqualified and undefined. The majority may hold that it is the right thing - but it could still be wrong for me. We can't take a vote on truths whether they are personal/subjective or objective.


ullangoo wrote today at 4:04 AMThe "self-evident truths" of your declaration are opinions. They are ethical statements. Now, there MAY be an ethical system that is true in the absolute sense - I won't rule it out - but if there is, we don't know how to identify it (yet). We have to live with the existence of several and hopefully learn tolerance.
